Moroccan Man Faces Trial for Brutal 2014 Murder of Wife in France

Incarcerated since that date, the 50-year-old man claims his innocence and says that on that day, he had taken his children to school before going to his workplace, reports France Bleu. Around 12:30 p.m., he received a call from the teacher telling him that his wife had not come to pick up the children from school.

He claims to have gone home before discovering his wife in a pool of blood. "She was massacred, her skull crushed, her trachea pierced," writes France Bleu. But the police suspect him of being the author of the murder because there is no sign of a break-in and the husband’s behavior is strange.

"When she arrived from Morocco, she was convinced of living in the West, but that was not the case. Her freedom was controlled and that was not what she expected," says the lawyer for the victim’s family.

For his part, his lawyer denounces a judicial error.
